The invention is directed to a collecting container for earth fruit, in particular potato harvesting machines, which is arranged on the frame of the harvesting machine approximately centrally to its longitudinal axis and by means of guide rollers, which are arranged on both sides of the collecting container, in guideways Can be moved upwards and at the same time transversely to the direction of travel and by one parallel to the direction of travel Axis is tiltable, the tilting axis of the collecting container at the same as when emptying Drainage area for the earth fruit serving side wall is provided.

Such collecting containers can be relatively low on the vehicle or the harvesting machine in the collecting position be arranged so that on the one hand a good stability position is ensured during the collection is, on the other hand, the collecting container is given a relatively high and laterally offset position for emptying, so that the emptying of the same well into a transport vehicle located next to the harvesting machine od. The like. Can take place.

A known collection container of this type, however, requires a considerable amount of effort to the above To achieve advantages, since this between the collecting container and fixed guides an additional support frame is required, which is before the initiation of the tilting movement of the collecting container be moved along the fixed guides by means of the guide rollers attached to it got to. In addition to the one-time acquisition cost for this relatively complicated mechanism is particularly disadvantageous here that the many mutually movable parts are stronger Are exposed to wear and therefore the maintenance of machines equipped with such collecting tanks is made more difficult, especially in the case of earth fruit harvesting machines, soiling is particularly easy in the Area of telescopically movable parts can occur.

In contrast, the invention is based on the object of a particularly simple and maintenance-free To create construction.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that the guide rollers on the tilt axis and next to these guide pulleys there are sheaves or chain wheels mounted on ropes or Chains roll off, which with one end at the upper end of the guideways and with her other end near the bottom of the container. This training makes any further intermediate links between the collecting container and fixed vehicle parts are unnecessary and avoided

in particular parts that can be telescoped into one another and thus the wear and tear between them Parts without any other complicated parts besides a simple pulley or chain wheel to be required with the associated rope or chain.

It is also essential that all parts carrying the collecting container are firmly attached to the vehicle frame can be arranged, whereby a particularly safe guidance of the collecting container in its upward-sideways directed movement results.

Although it is already known, on both sides of the tilt axis of a collecting container that is upward and is laterally displaceable to provide guide rollers, the tilting movement being achieved in that an upper pair of guide rollers enters the horizontally angled part of guideways while a lower pair of guide rollers is still in the vertical part of the guideways. Next to However, this known construction has the disadvantage of requiring two pairs of guide rollers that the guideways are far up to achieve a sufficiently large tilting height must extend so that these parts protrude far beyond all the other superstructures of the vehicle and can therefore be very inconvenient when parking the device in sheds or barns.

The tilt axis can preferably be positioned below the filling opening and above the center of gravity Arrange the container, as is known per se for containers of the type in question. Through this it is achieved that the side wall serving as a drainage path for the collected material during emptying of the container protrudes particularly far laterally, so that a little further away from the collecting container Car can be loaded well.

The invention is explained in more detail with reference to the drawing. This shows in a schematic representation a front view of an inventive trained

deten, arranged on a potato harvester. Collecting container. In the drawing are all parts not necessary for understanding the invention omitted, for example, the lifting tools taking up the collected material from the ground, as well as the devices that then separate the collected material from the herb and earth.

To understand the invention, it is sufficient to point out that the cleaned groupage has a Conveyor belt 1 or the like. A collecting container 2 is fed. This collecting container 2 isY in Collection position essentially in the middle and as low as the other parts of the machine allow, arranged on the machine frame 3. A tilt axis 4 is provided on a side wall of the container, around which the container by actuation of a hydraulic lifting device 5, which consists of one in one Cylinder displaceable piston rod 6 is made, can be tilted for the purpose of emptying, with on upper end of the piston rod 6 of the hydraulic lifting device a roller 7 is arranged over which a pull rope 8 is guided, which at one end on the outside? of the cylinder of the hydraulic Lifting device 5 and at the other end at 10 on the collecting container 2 near the bottom of the same is attached.

According to the invention, guide rollers 11 are now arranged on both sides of the tilt axis 4, which can roll on appropriately designed, for example tubular, guide tracks 12. on the tilt axis4 are also the guide rollers adjacent rope or chain pulleys 13 attached, which roll on ropes or chains 14, which one-sided on a cross member at the upper end 15 of the guideways 12 and at the other end in the Near the bottom of the collecting container 2 at 16. • are fastened. The collecting container is in the collecting position on the side opposite the tilting axis 4 on a bearing block 17 of the vehicle frame on.

It can be seen that, due to the arrangement explained, when the hydraulic lifting device 5 is actuated and the associated tilting movement of the collecting container 2 about its tilting axis 4, the tipping axis 4 with the guide rollers as a result of the increasing wrapping of the rope or chain pulleys 13 by the ropes or chains 14 11 with progressive tilting movement - laterally upwards along the guide belts 12 up to the deferred position shown in dashed lines, in which the collected goods are extended beyond the run-off path. Side wall of the -Behälters is discharged into a next ⁱ the harvester accommodated car. "

Due to the design described it is achieved that the collecting container is in the collecting position

ίο as low as the rest of the machine allow, and essentially in the center of the vehicle. can be arranged longitudinal axis, but nevertheless a lateral emptying option is guaranteed without this additional substantial effort is required.

Claims (2)

Patent claims: 1. Collection container for earth fruit, especially potato harvesters, which is on the frame the harvesting machine is arranged approximately in the middle of its longitudinal axis and by means of guide rollers, which are arranged on both sides of the collecting container, in guide tracks upwards and at the same time displaceable transversely to the direction of travel and around an axis parallel to the direction of travel is tiltable, the tilting axis of the collecting container on the same when emptying is provided as a drainage area for the side wall serving for the earth fruits, characterized in that that the guide rollers (11) on the tilt axis (4) and next to these guide rollers (11) sheaves. or chain wheels (13) are attached, which are on ropes or chains (14) roll off, which with one end at the upper end of the guideways (12) and with her the other end near the bottom of the container (2). 2.
